Corey McPherson, a doctoral candidate in Sustainability Management, is researching how local leadership is the critical component in mobilizing climate action.
Urban areas are the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, making them key battlegrounds in the fight against global warming. While technological innovations often dominate discussions about climate solutions, the leaders who champion these initiatives—including individuals, community groups and municipal officials—play an equally critical role.
Urban leaders can be pivotal in implementing climate solutions locally where change is more manageable and results are visible.
